Morocco fire claims 55

It's been a really tough time already, with rising gas prices and a worldwide food crisis. And now we have this: a violent fire broke out in a mattress factory in Morocco. 55 people are said to be dead; 12 are seriously injured. At the time of the fire 100 of the factory's 150 workers were reportedly inside. The name of the city? Casablanca.
